Marine life at the marina
A little marine-life inspiration, beyond the conference room.
Between sessions, take a stroll along Sutera Harbour Marina and look out for fish beneath the surface. The marina’s seawalls also support hard corals, offering a little marine-life inspiration beyond the conference room!
A study of Sutera Harbour Marina’s seawalls recorded 105 fish species from 32 families and 48 genera of hard corals from 17 families, highlighting the marine biodiversity found within the symposium’s host setting (Gan et al., 2025).
